In the following year, the progenies of all plants were inspected for off-types with regard to the marker characters. Only 0.05% of off-types was observed. As outcrossing between plants of the same genotype might have occurred but could not be detected, the percentage of off-types underestimates the actual percentage of outcrossing by a factor of 1.5. It is, therefore, estimated at 0.08%. KW - Chickpea KW - Cicer arietinum KW - cross fertilization KW - marker character Y1 - 1990/// SP - 329 ID - icrisat1575 EP - 332 VL - 50 IS - 5 ER -
